Subban's charity basketball game with Snoop Dogg postponed until 2017

The highly anticipated collaboration between P.K. Subban and Snoop Dogg will have to wait a year.

The charity basketball game featuring the Montreal Canadiens defenseman and the legendary rapper has been postponed until 2017, according to a statement issued to Bill Brownstein of the Montreal Gazette.

The game was originally scheduled for June 11, 2016 at Montreal's Verdun Auditorium, but it will now be played next summer at a larger venue, the Bell Centre.

The Just for Laughs comedy festival will join forces with local event promotion company Evenko to raise more money for the two stars' foundations.

"Just For Laughs, P.K. Subban, and Snoop Dogg have been thrilled by the response to this event, but realized there was a much greater opportunity to raise money for charity," the statement said.

"Just For Laughs will now partner with Evenko and the Bell Centre to produce an even more exciting and exceptional event as part of Just For Laughs' 35th anniversary edition.”

Snoop will perform in Montreal on the originally planned date next week, as part of the Canadian Grand Prix festivities.
